Camp

This morning I'm thankful for an excellent weekend away with some fantastic young people in Kilkenny. Tiring, but oh so worth it!

I'm thankful for leaders who dedicated many hours into the preparation, organisation and then set up of the weekend, for speakers, singers and seminar-leaders for speaking and sharing into the lives of the teenagers.

For many of the young people, attending from every corner of Ireland, this is the only time in the year that they are able to get together with a bigger group of like-minded peers, so watching them make the most of it really makes it worth while!

I'm also especially thankful for the extra hour in bed we got on the Saturday night. Never is the hour change more welcome than when it comes slap bang in the middle of a youth weekend...
